New PET tracer spots hidden organ damage in rare vasculitis
NCT ID NCT07151521
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new type of PET scan tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better detect lung and kidney problems in people with ANCA-associated vasculitis, a rare autoimmune disease. The tracer targets specific cells linked to tissue scarring. Researchers will enroll 30 adults to compare the new scan with standard tests, aiming to improve early diagnosis and personalized care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age over 18 years; 2. Meeting the 2022 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for ANCA-associated vasculitis; 3. Diagnosed with concomitant interstitial lung disease based on High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) images obtained within one year prior to enrollment, interpreted by two radiologists blinded to clinical information; 4. Complete clinical information available; 5. Signed and dated informed consent form; 6. Willingness to comply with the study procedures and cooperate throughout the entire study process. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of other rheumatic diseases; 2. Presence of other conditions that may cause interstitial lung disease or renal impairment, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, or rheumatoid arthritis; 3. History of, or planned, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 4. Presence of severe comorbidities deemed by the investigators to be unsuitable for participation in this clinical study, such as severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, severe bone marrow suppression, or severe hepatic or renal insufficiency; 5. Acute abdominal emergencies such as intestinal perforation or complete intestinal obstruction; 6. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women, and lactating women; 7. Poor treatment compliance.
